If you go to this page and enter aol in the search field and then click go!, nothing will happen. This is the value of the action attribute "/search/redirector/1,10207,0-0,00.html" This only occurs on Windows 2000. Expected results: search engine would go out and return matching software Actual results: search engine doesn't do anything (unusable)

I tested on 2000-10-06-08-MN6 and PR3 on Windows 2000. Worked fine. Then thinking it was a cache related problem I loaded up many pages from top 100 list and still could not reproduce. Marking WORKSFORME

If you do a clean install of Windows 2000, you should see this. I have two recently installed machines and I saw this on both of them
I was asked to look, but this also works for me on win2k. The HTML itself is very vanilla table-containing-a-form type of layout, with the form doing a GET of a redirect page that delivers the results. Terri -- do you see buttons on other pages not submitting forms? By the way, by "clean install" do you mean clean install of Mozilla or of Win2k.

I mean a clean W2K install
Okay, I figured out a way to duplicate this problem, you do not need to have a new installation of Windows 2000. You need to delete any and ALL Netscape 6 products on your machine. (Including installer) Then do a complete full install of Netscape 6. (I haven't figured out how to get rid of my profile though so I see profile manager and not activation) Now go to www.netscape.com, type something into the search field and click search. You will go nowhere, same on many other sites. Now go to Edit - Preferences and click on themes. Click on classic and then apply classic. You should be fine now. You won't run into this problem again unless you wipe NS 6 again. I think this is a big problem 'cause any new Windows 2000 user will run into it!

This was reproduced on my Win2K machine, right in front of mine own eyes. Confirming.

Terri. Can you do a run with the '-console' flag set on a shortcut to Netscp6, and look for error messages in the console window. Do you perchance see an error message like | JavaScript error: | chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js | line 2185: invalid format character %ip If so, then http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2952 (or variation thereof).
John is right, this is exactly what I see, so should I mark it as a dupe?
cc: racham, who currently owns the other bugscape bug. Terri, can you detail what you do when you start up? Profile manager comes up, but not Activation? Are you using a profile that was previously activated (or cancelled out of activation)? What happens when you create a new profile: do you see Activation; what do you typically do when you see it (cancel/cancel, activate, hit the X close control). Thanks.
Eric, can you take a look at this?

This bug is actually == http://bugscape.netscape.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2952 based on that telltale '%ip' error message. But I'm sure that Bhuvan would appreciate some help in tracking this down. (Note: the submit button fails because the 'form submission dialog' wants to come up, but then this bug strikes, which prevents the commonDialog.xul from coming up, which aborts the form submission).
I actually start the browser, select a profile and then Activation comes up. I then click the X to close this window and then run into this issue.
Let's keep all the information relating to this bug in one place - there's not really a way to mark it as a duplicate of 2952, so I'm going to close this out. Marking this bug as INVALID because the bug does not exist in Mozilla, but only Netscape.
